Silicon carbide is a nanomaterial that has many outstanding properties. These include high thermal conductivity; strong thermal stability; oxidation resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. It also has a large bandgap and small Dielectric constant. Silicon carbide single-crystal devices are widely applicable in special environments, such as aerospace and radar communications, automobiles, oil exploration, and high temperatures radiation environments. Moreover, its unique optical, electrical and mechanical properties can be used in a wide range of fields. 1. The mechanical properties and application of nanosilicon carbide composite materials

Silicon carbide whiskers possess excellent properties, including high strength and hardness, as well as heat resistance, corrosion resistant, and stable chemical characteristics. It has found wide application in the chemical, aerospace, automobile, and ship industries. It is also known as “King of Whiskers”. Scientists are able to calculate and measure the mechanical properties of one whisker at a microscopic level. Studies have shown the linear silicon-carbide ceramics are superior to bulk silicon-carbide ceramics in terms of tensile and bend strength. The carbide silicon nanowires have excellent performance and can be used to reinforce high molecular materials such as ceramics, metals, and polymers.

The use of silicon carbide in ceramic composites can enhance the heat resistance of the ceramics as well as their high-temperature resistance.

2. Nano silicon carbide as a catalyst carrier

It has always been important to examine the high specific surface areas of the carrier catalyst. High specific surface area silicon carbide has a better performance when used as a carrier for catalysts due to its excellent material performance. Comparing SiC to traditional carriers alumina, silica oxide, etc. the SiC material’s superiority is primarily due to the following: 1) high heat resistance and thermal conductivity; 2) high chemical stability; 3) strong mechanical strength; not easily broken; 4) low rate of thermal expansion.

3. Field emission properties nano-silicon carbide

SiC Nanowire Array has low turn-on and threshold voltages, high current densities, stable field emissions performance and is ideal for field emission cathode materials. At the same, its chemical stability, high temperature, high pressure, and corrosion resistance properties, among others, makes it widely used in microelectronics devices.

4. Nano-Silicium Carbide: Optoelectronic Properties

The luminescent properties of silicon carbide were also discovered earlier. In a low-temperature environment, silicon carbide can emit blue light. Silicon carbide’s wide bandgap is used by people to create blue-like light emitting diodes. The low luminous efficiency and weak blue light of silicon carbide are due to the indirect bandgap properties. In order to increase the luminous efficacy of silicon carbide, a number of improvements have taken place, such as the creation of amorphous silica carbide, single-crystal porous silica carbide and porous silicone carbide.
